. . .It’s got a punk rocker look to it.

. . .I don’t get it.

MY ANCHOR LOOKED DIFFERENT.Diane Sawyerwore glasses for much of last week onWorld News.

. . .At first she had that trendyWarby Parkerlook -- bold, black, formerly nerdy but now fashionable eyewear.

. . .She wore them well but they seemed a little oversized and they blocked the upper part of her baby blues a little; looked like they needed to be pushed up.

. . .Another day of the week – actually two or so – she wore a more ovally style as opposed to the earlier geometrical ones.

. . .I guess she was trying them out for the world to see.

. . .Katie Couricoccasionally exhibits her big, oversized nerd look.

. . .People inTVoften wear them to achieve more credence.

. . .In one quick scene – just one – did it make me jump a little in my seat when a dinosaur’s head popped out of something.

. . .The movie seems dated – theCGIeffects, the acting, the editing.

. . .If you saw it back in the day, keep the memory. You don’t need an update.

. . .Somebody mention that to theGEICOgecko. Maybe he’ll shut up.

McDonald’snow features the “McWrap” sandwich.

. . .We could, however, do away with the commercials showing close-ups of those people that take long, luscious, scrumptious bites inslo-mo.

. . .It turned me off.

JUST WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS: AFacebookphone.

Betty Nguyen, former overnight news anchor (“Up to the Minute”) and news reader on the “TheCBS Morning News,” is now withMSNBC. (BeforeCBSshe was withCNN.)

. . .They move a lot inTV.

Planet Fitnesshas a misspelling in theirTVcommercials, sorta.

. . .They show on the screen that “No Lunks” (what’s alunk?) are in our “Judgement-Free Zone.”

. . . No “e” in judgment, although it is an alternate spelling – just not the one usually used.

. . . And a “lunk,” apparently, is an awkward, heavy or stupid person, according to theFree Online Dictionary.

. . .But theUrban Dictionarysays it’s a word made up byPlanet Fitnessto describe one who “grunts, drops weights and judges” and reportedly the gym has an alarm that goes off when someone emits all those groans.
